Midweek Meeting May 7 2025

Among our church members are Eduardo and Anna Marzia. Eduardo is Brazilian and his wife, Anna Marzia is Italian. We met them when Eduardo came to the seminary. For the past nearly five years they have been living and serving in Brazil under the aegis of UFM. There have been encouragemants but things are not working out quite as well as hoped. Currenty we are thinking about Eduardo becoming a pastor back in this country and there is a real possibility in the offing (not here), It qs good to have them at our prayer meetinglast Wednesday then and to hear from them. Their visit is a fying one adn they will soon be back in Brazil. More here.

London Seminary End of Term

It was not possible, of course, to have the usual end of year service at the seminary with a visiting preacher and tea on the lawn. Instead we had a stripped down zoom meeting with testimonies from the leaving students and a short sermon from the principal. It is a shame that we can do no more but at least something was done. Thank you to those who arranged it. There appeared to be over 100 participating.

Lord's Day May 31 2020

Again this last Sunday we had a "visiting preacher" in the morning from the seminary, pre-recorded with me leading. This was Eduardo Lemos. See here. He was able to record audio visually at the seminary although the vision froze towards the end, which was a shame. He preached well on Genesis 1. We preceded that with our usual singing together from 10 am (with "Sunday School" the day before). In the evening we zoomed again and I preached on Joshua 3. We are also trying to hear from the workers we support elsewhere. This last week it was Andrzej Kempczyński who is church planting in Legionowo near Warsaw. They are already gathering again and it was good to hear of an upcoming baptism and other encouragements. We hope to hear from Robin Asgher in West London next Sunday, when I hope to look at Joshua 4. Links are on our website here.

New UFM Missionaries
